Physics major

I have attended events and football games since I can remember, so I've gotten extremely familiar with campus. The waffles and food before football games were and still are something I look forward to.

Education

B.S. Physics

Hometown

Minerva, OH

Impactful Faculty

Dr. Ekey and Dr. Campbell have had the biggest impact on my academic and professional careers. They are both very personable and available anytime a student needs them and they also offer valuable life advice. They will tell it to you as it is, and that's exactly what I want from a professor. They have both given me useful advice on everything from homework to applying for graduate school. They both challenge their students and push them past their academic comfort level, which is necessary for the path in life I want to take. I want to be able to learn how to learn and motivate myself in graduate school just as they are doing for me now.

Choosing Mount Union

My mother has worked at the University for over 20 years, so I grew up on campus. The campus and staff have always made me feel at home. I have attended events and football games since I can remember, so I've gotten extremely familiar with campus.

Experiential Opportunities 

I participated in SCHOLAR Day my freshman year with Dr. Cederbloom. We measured the amount of dark matter in the spiral galaxy M88 using an optical telescope in New Mexico and a radio telescope in West Virginia. Although, my favorite experience was going on the SOAR trip to Mount Wilson. Seeing many people from different backgrounds all working towards the same goal was fun to see. The first week was dedicated to lectures about scientific processes like astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy. The second week was project week, where students applied what they learned in the previous week. My project measured different properties of comets 13P/Olbers and C/2021 S3. The measurements I made were of the distance, size, speed, composition, orbit path, and the nucleus vs coma size. This allowed me to see what astronomers do in their day-to-day lives.
